Description Okay, so it's not Zutara. Sue me.

*is shot*

And I know it looks crappy. Sue me again.

*is shot*

BUT SERIOUSLY. I love Taang! They look so cute together, they are of the same height and age [roughly; and apparently that is my basis of a great couple. wtf. ] and I just had to color this after I sketched it.

But I still think the sketch looks better. TwT I'm no good at bright, vivid, Photoshop colors.

QUICK BACKGROUND; READ IF YOU CARE.

a. Toph and Aang are the best at what they do. Toph can freaking bend metal, and Aang is the Avatar.
b. I do not need to explain further.
c. Aang is comforting Toph just as much as he is comforting himself, because EVEN THE BEST FALL DOWN SOMETIMES.

Obv, the lyrics came from the song "Collide", by Howie Day. Google it. Listen to it. Live it. Love it.

The textures here are from and I am forever in debt to your talent.

Hi~!

Thanks so much for the comment. =] How's everything back there? Are you in Blue Knight? Did you see your work featured in Bliss? 8D That was really, really pretty, btw.

Pikastar19 In reply to 16stolenxpaperthin [2010-07-14 11:24:53 +0000 UTC]

No Problem! =]
Everything's fine all right! And I'm not in Blue Knight, I'm in Shield now. And I heard that the Blue Knight is sharing rooms with the ASEC I think, since the Sports Room thing occupied in the Blue Knight room.

and yeah, I saw my work, [link] there in Bliss! 8D And thank you for complimenting it!

BTW, how's college? =]

this is just too beautiful Rei!! i love it Taang is just too adorable!!

btw just out of curiosity did you draw this all on photoshop? or draw it with a pencil then color it in with photoshop?? either way your drawing skills are epic

16stolenxpaperthin In reply to MoonlightFilly [2010-07-09 07:05:36 +0000 UTC]

Aww, Evelyn~! Thanks so much dearie! And I know, right?? It's so epic.

I draw it first with a pencil, then I scan it in, then I try and color it, then I shoot myself for failing at coloring, then I moan and whine and bitch with myself about whether or not to post it, then I post it.

8D

It's that simple.

ILU.

IKR~!

I have always been okay with the guy being older than the girl. But the girl being older and taller is just something I can't get into.

It's unique,granted, but ... urgh. Just urgh. xP

THANKYOU! I squish you, as a token of my appreciation. 8D

Ohai. XD

I'm glad you went with this version, now that I think about it. It's less... bright than the other one you showed a loooooooong while back.

And I quote Tessa: How do you draw those damn noses?
